  • Sartorial elegance isn't just a hobby for this breed of very-well-put-together men - it's their life's calling. Serena Altschul explores the world of the dandy, which Nathaniel "Natty" Adams (author of "I Am Dandy") and photographer Rose Callahan define as a man "obsessed with personal elegance."

    Imagine if we all dressed like dandies, it'd be a great place to live in.

    This video highlights well the difference between being a dandy and being a gentleman.
    Dandy's are obsessed with personal elegance and because of their constant preening and obsession with the self they often miss the obvious that makes them prone to sartorial faux pas like wearing a tie pin with a waistcoat and keeping their hats on indoors a la Dandy Wellington.
    Gentleman on the other hand are obsessed with personal development and, building their character and becoming better human beings - dressing well plays a but a part of that.

      I thought the stripped suit and stripped shirt was a mistake: it created a joust for supremacy. He could have used the shirt to tone it down and make the outfit more classic. Having said that, I do appreciate that his ensemble was deliberate.

    I love clothes and have a wardrobe to prove it. I enjoy dressing well, which for me is a way of life. I’ve been called a dandy at work. I don’t know if it’s true but I don’t do anything to quell saying.
    I travel extensive (50% of the time) both international and domestically. When I’m in Europe I’m reminded how bad Americans men dress. This is especially true in the United States. I have my own opinion but would enjoy hearing what other people think.

    To say that the average man "doesn't care" is an unfair statement, maybe he should have said most people can't afford it. I am willing to dress this way when my income increases

      +Monster Gamer But thats the point... Didnt you hear the one guy "even if they were on an island they would have fishbone tie pins..."
      So For example these guys would rather spend on clothes and polished appearance then other things that you or others personally feel the need to spend alot on.
      Even if you were poor you would find a way.

      YOu don't have to spend money on an expensive bespoke suit to look decent before leaving the house.

    • @Ignauhak
      @Ignauhak 6 лет назад +5

      I'm a dandy on a budget and I manage to find things that suit my style by looking in my local op-shops... they are a treasure trove of fashion opportunities... most of the time, I'll find something that looks 80% decent, and will have to make some adjustments/alterations by hand to get it there myself, so that it fits my body perfectly. Having a keen eye and an able hand with a needle and thread can work wonders for the look and for the soul. ^_^

    • @bsbncandey
      @bsbncandey 5 лет назад +2

      @@getmoney101ify Exactly. I am wearing 4 pieces from Amazon, it cost me a total of $80. I bought them at different times, free shipping. It's called building up your wardrobe. It's really inexpensive, people are just lazy and don't want to take the time to dress up. Where people spend their money on cigarettes, electronics, game tickets, I spend money on vintage inspired and vintage clothing and antiques. It's about where you put your money at.

      A classic are things that people use over a long time like undying trends, while vintage is one of a kind.

    There are no more dandy’s. It was something that took place in British and French culture 100 of years ago. Men who didn’t work and was very egotistical as well as elegant.

    Sorry, but that kind of fashion is outdated. There is no way you will ever make me wear a silly hat, a dorky bow, a clown's flower and a cane on the streets! A nice suit with style YES!
